I'm Not Tired Yet! - A children's book review

I don't know about you but it is an every night battle trying to get my boys settled into bed.  I want to slap every "expert" that says: stick with routine .... take a bath, brush your teeth, read a book, etc.  I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING.

And then I came across the book: "I'm Not Tired Yet" by Marianne Richmond.  This book had me giggling with recognition.


In the story, 6-year-old Ralphie invents every excuse to delay his bedtime. His perceptive mom, however, sees his stalling as her invitation to engage Ralphie in a silly series of kisses, hugs, pinches, and pokes—all inspired by his favorite animals and each leaving the twosome in a heap of giggles.

I'm Not Tired Yet! inspires a playful bedtime routine that leaves kids and grownups looking forward to nighttime no matter how strong the allure of playtime.

Cash (age: 4) LOVES this book.  We read it at least once a week.  And :::knock on wood::: I don't want to jinx anything ... but bedtime has been going a little easier.
